Meet Ringo, my octopus tattoo

Noelle and I missed FB’s Free Comic Book Day because we were at Psyko Studio Tattoos in Cavite getting our first tattoos!

This is Ringo, my octopus. Ringo and his garden in the shade.

This took around 7 1/2 hours to do, counting several breaks. If I’d gotten something smaller and simpler, I would have said getting tattooed was easy. But after about the first 2 or 3 hours, it gets harder to block out the discomfort and the pain. The really bad parts were when the needles hit parts with bone — like the shoulder, spine and the shoulder blade. The ultimate WORST was the parts near the underarm. Words are not enough to describe the agony. Hahaha.

This was done by Ram Marual. I gave Ram a bunch of octopus pegs, left everything in his hands and the finished product so went above and beyond any of my expectations.

If you’re planning on getting a tattoo, I highly recommend getting it at Psyko Studio Tattoos Cavite. It’s a little out of the way if you live in the Metro like me, but so worth it.

It’s so beeyootipul! ♥♥♥ I can’t wait for it to heal! ♥♥♥ (Now, when and how do I tell my parents?)
